Case Studies
Patient A (Recurrence of Chest Wall Breast Cancer)
Patient A received BNCT for chest wall recurrence of breast cancer. The image on the left shows two PET/CT scans taken before and six months after BNCT. The first scan shows hypermetabolic activity in the chest wall, indicating metastasis. The second scan on the right displays reduced metabolic activity where BNCT was applied.

Patient B (Cutaneous Metastasis of Breast Cancer)
Patient B received BNCT for cutaneous metastasis of breast cancer. The image on the left shows two photos taken one day and one month after BNCT respectively. The first photo shows multiple skin metastases (indicated by arrows). The second photo, taken one month after treatment, shows a significant reduction in the size of the skin metastases.

The Effects of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy on the Lungs in Recurrent Breast Cancer Treatment

This article introduces the world’s first clinical study employing an accelerator-based BNCT system targeting recurrent breast cancer after radiation therapy. We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of BNCT with a focus on the dose-response in the thoracic region, particularly regarding the potential for radiation pneumonitis. Preliminary findings from the first three cases indicate no evidence of radiation pneumonitis within three months post-treatment.
